What a church texting service does
A church texting service sends texts to your members and guests, and it receives their replies, so texting stays two-way. Churches use it for follow-up after a service, for engagement between Sundays, and for updates that need to arrive the same day. A keyword lets people join your list from the pew by texting one word to your number. Replies come back into an inbox your team can share, which keeps prayer requests and questions from sitting in one phone.
What the providers publish for churches
Of the 39 scored providers, 7 publish a church page as of September 28, 2026: SimpleTexting, EZ Texting, Textedly, SlickText, Textline, Text Request and Trumpia. SimpleTexting's church page states, "We also offer all churches a 15% discount on monthly plans", and says plans "start at $29 per month for 500 credits and incoming SMS messages are free". The SimpleTexting review covers the rest of its plans.
EZ Texting's church page names Planning Center among its integrations, with Stripe, Mailchimp, Google Forms, Google Sheets and Zapier. No other provider names a church management system. SlickText describes a keyword auto-reply pointing to online giving. Text Request describes a text-to-give keyword. Textline describes two-way texting for prayer requests and tithes. Trumpia describes keyword list building, and Textedly describes "Text to Join" list building.
How to choose a church texting service
Compare the providers on the same criteria: whether the plan covers your monthly volume, whether the church discount applies, and whether the platform connects to the software your church already runs. Price the month at your own volume, not at the headline tier, because a 500-credit plan fills fast when you text a congregation. At 2,000 texts a month, on each provider's cheapest published plan, plan data read September 9 and 19, 2026, the month runs from $75 to $90: Trumpia $75, SimpleTexting $84, or $72.15 after its church discount, Textedly $87, SlickText $87.40, and EZ Texting $90. Textline and Text Request publish no plan price this site can compute. For texting more than one congregation or citywide campaigns, the mass texting services comparison prices higher volumes.
